Sunday Dinner

Went out to OB for Sunday pizza night with my sister's family.

Gearing up for real food

I think we're just about ready to start in with some real food. In preparation, we've taken to giving lil Cdog some time in the highchair. I can already see food flying about the kitchen.

Lyons Pride

Gayle has often shared stories of her family's abundance of talent in dance and performing arts. I believe it was the Lyons side of her family that practically invented one legged tap dance. Apparently this rich tradition has passed to our young Caden.

Mr Giggles

Sleepy

Even if a barren crib moves the comfort meter more towards cell block than a Beautyrest Classic, our lil man doesn't really notice the absence of all things soft and pillowy. Just watching him sleep makes me laugh.

Roadtrip Riverside

Had a nice afternoon and eve up in Riverside with Katie's dad Greg and Debbie. Also had the great pleasure of seeing Katie's good friend from UCLA John. All in all a fine day.

Oh, so I should explain the last picture. I drive a ton. Gayle may soon be driving to work herself. So let's see, should I drive the '67 Buick...10mpg, the truck at 13mpg or the tractor 2hpg. (that's hours per gal for the city folk) Nope, it must be time for a commuter car. So I google best mileage cars and start from the top. Prius? Too trendy and I'd be humming the theme to Larry David all day. Civic Hybrid? I don't really qualify as plain 20 something gal. Jetta Diesel? Let's just say I no longer find Jettas attractive. Mini Cooper? Well Gayle used to be a subject...let's go Brit. And hello 36mpg.

So in my search, I decided the only thing I didn't want was a silver mini. Reason being, that was the color of Greg's mini I drove back in '06. I figured if I'm going British...I may as well go full monty...British Racing Green with tan leather. We fit the baby seat and the two of us in fine. Enjoyed a nice ride up to Riverside. Pulled up to Greg and Debbie's.

Turns out I'm senile and BRG is quite popular.

Back to school night

Summer draws to a close and my sister's kids have a night before school dinner. We decided to tag along. Always a pleasure seeing the Kurth clan. Caden was on his best behavior.
